The results suggest that while the #IEA has accurately anticipated primary and final energy demand growth, it has historically overestimated the growth in #fossil #fuels and #nuclear #electricity generation and severely underestimated the growth in key #renewable #technologies including solar #photovoltaics and #wind #power, the latter occurring across scenarios.

• #WEO #energy scenarios have significantly underestimated #solar PV growth potential.
• Outlook and normative scenarios indicate bias for nuclear and against renewables.
• Power-to-X flexibility options exist in the #GEC model, though their use is limited.
• Increased #transparency of assumptions for key technologies is required.
• Exogenous limitations of key technologies may impede global energy transitions.

🇬🇧#Chatcontrol: EU Ombudsman again criticises EU Commission for keeping internal criticism secret. Legal Service advice on compliance with our fundamental rights and Thorn's lobby letters are also being withheld from us.

EU Ombudsman sees ‘maladministration’ due to ‘strong public interest in disclosure’, ‘also with regard to the fundamental rights concerned’. ombudsman.europa.eu/en/decisio…
